Assam Evictions Spark Controversy: Former Planning Commission Member Speaks Out

The recent evictions in Assam have ignited a heated political debate. Syeda Saiyidain Hameed, who served on the Planning Commission during Manmohan Singh’s tenure, has strongly criticized the Assam government’s handling of the situation. She accuses the government of committing “inhuman acts” against minority communities affected by the evictions.

BJP Alleges “Congress Hangover” in Response to Criticism

The BJP has responded to Hameed’s criticism, suggesting her stance is a remnant of her time in the Congress-led government. They allege her comments are politically motivated and fail to consider the complexities of the situation. This response has further intensified the political divide on the issue.

Human Rights Concerns Raised Amidst Eviction Controversy

Hameed’s criticism brings to light growing concerns about the human rights implications of the evictions. The displacement of minority communities has raised questions about due process and the protection of vulnerable populations. Advocates are calling for a thorough investigation into the evictions and for measures to ensure the well-being of those affected.
